mw 5pts I sat in the ATS today. Didn't drive it, but based on QA and interior appearance, its a winner. If I didn't have a CTS, this would be, by far, my candidate for new ownership.
Ameridriver 5pts Well lets see....if the turbo 4, likely to be the sweet spot for cadillac was lighter don't you think they would advertise that fact rather than the lowly non-turbo 4? Pathetic....but nice try.
GMSTOGOOD4PETE 5pts pete=fail...learn what your competition has to offer before running your mouth"maintaining the caddy isnt FREE". hmm it appears it is in fact "free". ANY MORE WORDS YOU FEEL LIKE EATING TODAY?
GMSTOGOOD4PETE 5pts if the caddy becomes a failure then you can say i told you so but what if it competes and is comparable? then what pete? will you admit that you were wrong? probably not as you will hold onto every last thread of what you believe is a better car. keep making excuses. i hope the caddy makes you eat every last word
GMSTOGOOD4PETE 5pts they must be doing something right to get your panties in a bunch...are you sweating pete?
true_enthusiast 5pts The XTS is no stop gap, it is the DTS replacement. The XTS will stay as long as the senior citizen market remains.
GMSTOGOOD4PETE 5pts ohh thats cool pete. so i can buy a luxury car that has less luxury than a elantra,hmm sounds reasonable right? and you can have your stripper bimmer and i can have a well appointed caddy at roughly the same price. good for you and your rational thinking. so if you want to add luxury to your bimmer how many boxes do you have to tick and how much do those boxes cost?
leo 5pts "The comparable turbo is heavier" ... how do you know? They haven't released those specs yet.
smelly pete 5pts can't wait till the testers get their hands on this car and come back with the real results comparing the ATS to a 3 series is just moronic, the ATS will get beaten by Audi, Infiniti, Lexus and the likes....... the ATS would be lucky to be compared to the G25
smelly pete 5pts when buying a real luxury car.... you don't have to tick every option box and you don't have to take the car from the dealer's lot, you don't like what the BMW dealer has.. they'll build one to your spec's with as many or as few options as you like.
smelly pete 5pts what about the Catera, and the BLS (in europe) ? there's two recent entry level failures by caddy... it's not as if they only failed once in this market segment.. they have a history and a track record of building small cars that nobody wants.
ILOVEUSA 5pts Read the link loser. The base non-turbo is the lightest variation by only 6 pounds. Nice try GM assembly line propaganda loser.
GMLexusH_K 5pts That old lump of a V6 is destined for no other product ever. It is a POS engine. Now for the ATS-V Cadillac will either use a Gen V small block or twin turbo 3.6 both putting out around 450 hp.
GMSTOGOOD4PETE 5pts it wouldnt matter if the bimmer was $100000 more than the caddy. pete will choose the bimmer solely based on pedigree and nothing else. if the 3 series gets knocked off its throne, pete would argue that the mags were paid off by gm. NO MATTER WHAT, he will find some crazy excuse to make the bmw look better than the caddy
bruceyboy 5pts Thank you CAPTAIN .. I've been saying the same thing for years ...You simply cannot get a BMW for base price by going to ANY of the BMW dealers in my area .... the cheapest ONE SERIES ... was $42 K ... every 3 series on the lots were in the low 50's up .....
pennrck22 5pts i always liked the current CTS..very competitive car all around, never minded the looks either.. then the pics starting being released of the new ATS, my 1st thoughts were, WHAT A RIPOFF!, its just a small CTS look-a-like! but gotta say, the car looks GREAT..darn good in the black pictured..now CADDY had bettered do great things with the new CTS, because after seeing the ATS, i wouldnt buy the CTS based on looks alone
KY Car Guy 5pts OK I see the problem here everyone is still living in the past, Ok I get it but all must admit this is the only domestic brand that is even close to competing with the Germans on the luxo front surly isn't Lincoln or Chrysler so I say don't live in the past and give the car a chance after all no one thought the CTS would be as good as it is and they were wrong then and I would say this car will quiet a lot of skeptics.
Renegade 5pts As stated above by Lions208487. The ATS is targeting many entry level luxury on their own turf. Let me quote Lions208487 " A loaded 3.6 DIwith AWD will run you 48K, and a current 328i loaded was priced as tested on Road & Track and Car & Driver at 52k. A loaded 335i is 68K. Since we're on the of logic, where do you get yours? The base ATS will sell just fine against the TSX, IS250, S60 T5, and G25, while it's 270 HP 295 Ft lbs of torque will be just perfect for the 328i. The 318 (probably 323 HP) 3.6 DI may fall a little short, but this car hits all it's cometitive targets. With the transmission ATS V coming later that will have a small block all aluminum V8 that is lighter than the current LS series engine in the Camaro SS, it will compete very nicely against the M3 and C63 AMG. PS the 2.0 liter turbo is lighter than the base model 2.5 naturally aspirated 4 with T and AWD it's been confirmed to be 150 lbs lighter than your 328i with sport package. That's according to Automobile and Road and Track Magazine. You want me give you a few quotes, or will you continue to make up BS to defend your precious BMW."
dragonsky1 5pts The CTS is an excellent car and gives the Germans a run for their money. I don't see why people are so quick to dismiss the ATS. At least give a fair shot first. I think it has a good chance at being a great car. Also, Cadillac has really only tried a small, entry level car and that was almost 30 years ago. I think it's time to let it go. Most of us don't just Hyundai and Toyota by the rusting death boxes they put out in the 80's. Why should we judge Caddy like that?
dragonsky1 5pts That's only scheduled maintenance, oil changes, break changes, etc. However, Cadillac has had free scheduled maintenance for a while as well. I don't see why the ATS would vary from the rest of their line up.
GM_ZA 5pts Previously, I have blasted the ATS and for good reason giving Cadillac's history with entry level cars and the fact they are mostly bought by older people who wants a bed on wheels. The new ATS hopefully does not go the same route. Get a 2.0T model with six speed manual and enjoy the moment. As for Europe, it will have a diesel engine, probably borrowed from the Opel Insignia a.k.a Buick Regal. But I want to see a V model with the Insignia OPC's 321 bhp 2.8T V6. This is the one and only Cadillac I want to be sold locally and hope to succeed outside the US. GM the ball is in your corner. Stuff everything up like you did with the BLS locally and you can forget from launching Cadillac ever again outside the US.
lions208487 5pts A loaded 3.6 DIwith AWD will run you 48K, and a current 328i loaded was priced as tested on Road & Track and Car & Driver at 52k. A loaded 335i is 68K. Since we're on the of logic, where do you get yours? The base ATS will sell just fine against the TSX, IS250, S60 T5, and G25, while it's 270 HP 295 Ft lbs of torque will be just perfect for the 328i. The 318 (probably 323 HP) 3.6 DI may fall a little short, but this car hits all it's cometitive targets.

That's according to Automobile and Road and Track Magazine. You want me give you a few quotes, or will you continue to make up BS to defend your precious BMW.
lions208487 5pts Biz I get what you're saying, despite some negative feedback from the turbo 4, the 3 Series is still the benchmark. However, the nice look and turbo 4 from GM which has all the technology GM could possible put into it should compare nicely to the 328i. Although I want to believe the 323, (not 318), will do well and provide a great ride, it will most likely fall short of the 335i. One thing to note, the ATS with V package will be equipt with the same magnetic ride suspension which again GM tuned as well if not better than the CTS in 08. The same magnetic suspension technology Ferrari barrowed from GM. Obviously not one average Joe has sat behind the wheel of the ATS yet, but wait until it does. If M/T and C/D give it a close second place, than I know it won since their German biased is always present. If they give the ATS the nod over the 328i as they gave the CTS V the nod over the M5 and E63 AMG, then this car will sell in even greater numbers. Guess every enthusiast on this post will just have to drive one to give some real feedback.
Ameridriver 5pts Troll. ONly the base non-turbo 4 cylinder is lighter. The comparable turbo is heavier. There will be massive deals to be had on this pile when they don't meet their expectations....Give it 6 months. Only then will it be worth a test drive.
ILOVEUSA 5pts YES. An I4 (non-turbo) in a caddy is a the wrong direction for Cadillac. It belongs in a cheap econobox......oh wait. I guess that's what the ATS is.
LH 5pts by being better for less money. the last cts with the FE3 suspension was exceptional despite its extra weight from gm's stupid decision for a" tweener" car to try to compete in 3 & 5 series ranges with one model. it appears they learned their lesson.
Biz 5pts Sales numbers aside, it has no chance against the 3 series sport, that goes for the inline 4 and inline 6. It will probably be a great car, and I hope it does well. Price up a 328i with just what you need, like sport and adaptive steering and you are looking at a low 40s car, that gets 36 mg highway, mid 5's 0-60, and great in the bends. How do you beat that?
Terminator's bastard 5pts How much do you want to bet that the Caddy ATS will outsell everything but the C Class Merc and the 3 Series? I bet you by it's second year, they'll be selling 5k of these a month.
redvette77 5pts "Standard on all 2011 and newer Cadillac vehicles, Premium Care Maintenance is a fully transferable maintenance program that covers select required maintenance services during the first 4-years or 50,000-miles." http://www.cadillac.com/owners/shield-owner-benefits.html
Captain68 5pts Loaded 335 is $68,000, loaded ATS is $48,000. How is that the same? Don't be fooled by BMW's "base price" which includes nothing, and it's ridiculously priced a la carte options.
redvette77 5pts So are you implying that a 4 cylinder in a BMW screams more luxury than a 4 cylinder in a Cadillac? It sounds pretty much the same to me.
smelly pete 5pts it's pretty simple the Volt was GM's failure of an attempt to steal Prius customers the ATS is GM's failure of an attempt to steal compact luxury customers both are GM's attempts to build a car in a market segment where they've historically been complete failures.
smelly pete 5pts so can you point out his logic errors? by just calling him a name you're admitting he's correct... and that he's smarter than you
smelly pete 5pts lets see how many of those 600 guys are still working in 6 months after this car fails pricing this the ATS at the same level as the 3 series all but sets the ATS's early failure in stone
smelly pete 5pts the 3 series is FREE to maintain for 4 years not exactly expensive..... you may even find that the Caddy is more expensive to maintain.... since maintaining the Caddy isn't FREE
hartly14894 5pts This is going to be such an awesome car!! I can't wait to see the ATS in person, it looks absolutely gorgeous. And I hear it should perform even better than the fatter BMW 3 series! That means Cadillac ATS is about to change the game in a big way!
ILOVEUSA 5pts What a piece of garbage. NO manual with awd = Epic fail. Only the base engine is lighter than the 3 series. Great a cheap 4 banger in a cadillac.....that screams luxury.
MDSTEW 5pts I cant wait for MT to get their hands on that car! I SOOOOOOO HOPE that it lives up to my expectations. And my expectations are very high for that car.
redvette77 5pts I hope this car performs as amazing as it looks. I cannot wait until auto journalists begin testing so we can see just how competitive it is going to be. I have a feeling Cadillac really got it right this time.
redvette77 5pts Seeing as how it is hitting dealerships in less than three months, their test can't be too far away. Or that is my hope anyhow. :)
redvette77 5pts The CTS isn't going anywhere derp. The XTS is meant to cater to the buyers of the outgoing STS and DTS. The CTS is going to be larger next generation to take on the 5 series, A6, and E class more directly.
Christian Seabaugh 5pts Wish I could tell you specifics. What I can say is that we'll be among the first outside Cadillac to drive, and test it.
dragonsky1 5pts Actually no. The CTS is going nowhere. The next generation will be a little larger to better compete with the 5 series. The XTS will be even larger and is just a stop gap vehicle until a true RWD 7 series fighter is ready to go. Although, the XTS could stick around if the sales are there, in addition to the new large RWD sedan. The ATS is designed to compete with the 3 series.
fuel1999 5pts I'm guessing the g8 bein $30000 less than the m5 makes it out of its league the ctsv is more for the m5 and that's no comparison

"You are completely destroyed": Testimony on Torture from Shaker Aamer's Medical Report at Guantanamo |
By: Jeff Kaye Tuesday April 15, 2014 9:04 am |
On April 7, 2014, Shaker Aamer, the last British resident still held at Guantanamo, and his attorneys filed a habeas petition (PDF) asking for his release due to chronic health problems that can not be treated at Guantanamo. The worst of these problems apparently stems from PTSD from the torture Shaker has endured since he was captured by the Northern Alliance, then turned over to the Americans on Christmas Eve, 2001.
DoD Used Water Torture, Hid Behind "Waterboarding" Definition |
By: Jeff Kaye Wednesday August 3, 2011 8:00 am |
Up until now, it's been accepted that only the CIA waterboarded detainees at black sites in the "war on terror," and only three prisoners at that. But a new investigation of available materials from Congress, Inspector General reports, first-hand and second-hand accounts in the press, as well as other documentary evidence, shows that use of waterboarding-style torture was likely used widely by U.S. forces, from Afghanistan to Iraq to Guantanamo.
"I saw many people get killed under torture in Kandahar" |
By: Jeff Kaye Tuesday August 2, 2011 5:30 am |
Last March, Kurnaz told the German press about the forcible use of drugs on detainees at Guantanamo, including the administration of anti-malarial medications. One article at DW World cited investigatory stories by Jason Leopold and myself on the use of the controversial drug mefloquine on all the Guantanamo detainees.
In the RT video, Kurnaz talks about his stay in Kandahar, imprisoned by the U.S. military before he was shipped to Guantanamo. He was age 19.
Hundreds of Prisoners Escape in Afghanistan |
By: David Dayen Monday April 25, 2011 6:50 am |
This happened in Kandahar, the city that was supposed to witness a rebirth after a NATO "clear, hold and build" operation last year. US officials insist that they are winning the fight and that the Taliban is weakened, but not weakened enough to stop them from building a giant, 360-meter tunnel and breaking 500-odd prisoners out in the middle of Kandahar. And the Taliban sent out word of the prison break BEFORE the prison security discovered it. In fact, the whole operation took four and a half hours overnight and security never saw anything until morning.

General Stanley McChrystal's now infamous "We've got a government in a box, ready to roll in" claim at the beginning of the Marjeh offensive has now proven to be false. Competing narratives seem to be emerging on whether McChrystal is to blame for making an overly optimistic claim or the Afghan government is to blame for being unable to live up to its obligations under the plan.

Public relations firm The Lippin Group is partnering with The jLINE Group to expand Lippin's branding initiative "Brand2Hollywood," the companies announced.
The Lippin Group's focus with Brand2Hollywood is to bring together possible sponsors with potential branding possibilities through media outlets and vice versa, such as finding branding opportunities for the NAACP Image Awards or the ALMA Awards, said Dick Lippin, chairman and chief executive officer of the Lippin Group.
"What we are offering is a low financial cost of entry for companies to be associated with Hollywood and the ability to shape a marketing campaign that achieves heightened brand visibility in the process," he said.
The new Brand2Hollywood unit, announced yesterday, will be mainly headed up by Lippin's Jennifer Price and Alex Lippin, as well as jLINE's JL Pomeroy.
While it's not currently tied to the Brand2Hollywood unit, Mr. Lippin didn't discount the future possibility of using the unit to set up product integration into programming.
Public relations is mainly about a network of relationships, Mr. Lippin said. He added that this initiative is simply a natural evolution of the work Lippin and jLINE have already been doing.

Hi all.
Freeze time again. Linus committed the awaited recording changes yesterday, so we now have all the code needed for the 2.0 release.
Now we just need to test it. Please hammer the new code mercilessly! The id3 reading and the recording code especially, since those areas were modified the most.
I will not merge any more features for 2.0, any pending feature patches will go into 2.1. Bug fixes will of course be merged.

Testing the SOC hypothesis for the magnetosphere
Watkins, N.W.; Freeman, M.P.; Chapman, S.C; Dendy, R.O. 2001 Testing the SOC hypothesis for the magnetosphere. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 63 (13). 1435-1445. 10.1016/S1364-6826(00)00245-5
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract/Summary
As noted by Chang, the hypothesis of self-organised criticality provides a theoretical framework in which the low dimensionality seen in magnetospheric indices can be combined with the scaling seen in their power spectra and with observed plasma bursty bulk flows. As such, it has considerable appeal, describing the aspects of the magnetospheric fuelling:storage:release cycle which are generic to slowly-driven, interaction-dominated, thresholded systems rather than unique to the magnetosphere. In consequence, several recent numerical "sandpile" algorithms have been used with a view to comparison with magnetospheric observables. However, demonstration of SOC in the magnetosphere will require further work in the definition of a set of observable properties which are the unique "fingerprint" of SOC. This is because, for example, a scale-free power spectrum admits several possible explanations other than SOC. A more subtle problem is important for both simulations and data analysis when dealing with multiscale and hence broad-band phenomena such as SOC. This is that finite length systems such as the magnetosphere or magnetotail will by definition give information over a small range of orders of magnitude, and so scaling will tend to be narrow band. Here we develop a simple framework in which previous descriptions of magnetospheric dynamics can be described and contrasted. We then review existing observations which are indicative of SOC, and ask if they are sufficient to demonstrate it unambiguously, and if not, what new observations need to be made?

"Night's Dancer: The Life of Janet Collins is an enthralling read. It reinforces Collin's struggle, personal strength and ultimate success. While following her dreams with endless energy, she leapt over boundaries."—Karen Barr, Dance International
The biography of the first African-American prima ballerina
Dancer Janet Collins, born in New Orleans in 1917 and raised in Los Angeles, soared high over the color line as the first African-American prima ballerina at the Metropolitan Opera. Night's Dancer chronicles the life of this extraordinary and elusive woman, who became a unique concert dance soloist as well as a black trailblazer in the white world of classical ballet. During her career, Collins endured an era in which racial bias prevailed, and subsequently prevented her from appearing in the South. Nonetheless, her brilliant performances transformed the way black dancers were viewed in ballet. The book begins with an unfinished memoir written by Collins in which she gives a captivating account of her childhood and young adult years, including her rejection by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Dance scholar Yaël Tamar Lewin then picks up the thread of Collins's story. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with Collins and her family, friends, and colleagues to explore Collins's development as a dancer, choreographer, and painter, Lewin gives us a profoundly moving portrait of an artist of indomitable spirit.
Click here for TABLE OF CONTENTS
"Much of Collins's career is lost in the gaps of performance history, and Lewin has done wonders to restore to the record the work of this pioneering woman, as well as printing Collins's forty-odd pages of reminiscences for the first time. ... Night's Dancer is a fine contribution both to dance history and the history of segregation in the United States."—Judith Flanders, Times Literary Supplement
"Lewin helps confirm that Collins is by far an icon of great stature. … This is a must-read."—Charmaine Patricia Warren, Amsterdam News
"'Lewin's scholarship is commendable, and the stories of how she discovered and assembled her information are almost as engaging as the main narrative."—Lisa Jo Sagolla, BackStage Magazine
"With Night's Dancer, Lewin has produced a major work that continues to correct the absence of historical writing on African Americans in ballet and modern dance. The author incorporates Collins's own writings, intimate details from the artist's life, and rich contextual material to create a work that is emotionally touching and incredibly informative."—John O. Perpener III, author of African-American Concert Dance: The Harlem Renaissance and Beyond
"Blessed with extraordinary gifts for dance and painting, Janet Collins broke barriers as the first African-American prima ballerina at the world-renowned Metropolitan Opera. Her life's journey is inspirational. History should recognize her as one of its pioneers. Janet Collins was truly one of earth's angels."—Arthur Mitchell, co-founder of the Dance Theatre of Harlem

Welcome to 2003, Mr Wallis:
Slowly but surely, Terry Wallis is rediscovering his world. After 19 years in a coma he has a lot of catching up to do.
But now the crash victim's family are steeling themselves to break the news that during those lost years his wife had three children by another man.
They will also have to tell him the daughter he remembers as a six-week-old baby is now working as a stripper.
Hell get over it. But what about fellow coma sufferer Garry Trudeau, whose worldview remains exactly as it was in 1973? When will someone tell him that the joke he thought was funny 30 years ago now isnt working at all?
Posted by Tim Blair at July 16, 2003 12:29 PMWhy hasn't Hunter S. Thompson followed through with his promise to hunt down Trudeau and pull all his teeth out with rusty pliers for using his persona as Dr. Duke? (And he still is).
Posted by: Paul Bickford at July 16, 2003 at 12:44 PMHelp me remember....who was unfunny first: Garry Trudeau or Art Buchwald? It has been so long.
Posted by: Natalie Drest at July 16, 2003 at 01:13 PMAs well, his son is gay and his mother-in-law is a dealer. Doesn't this sound like some 1970s sitcom?

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at July 16, 2003 at 01:32 PMNot only has Gary Trudeau been stuck in the 70's, so have many others who can only relate to Vietnam when the US goes to war. Some of the 'peace protests' I saw reminded me of the peace protests I took part in during the Vietnam war.
I saw many of the same slogans that we used during Vietnam being used by today's protesters. Perhaps they saved the posters?
I think once Terry Wallis realizes how screwed up his family is, he'll wish he was back in a coma. I know I would.

Posted by: Fred at July 16, 2003 at 04:50 PMI doubt the guy has ever heard of Jerry Springer which is one advantage of a long coma. And I think Steven Seagal would be a good choice to play the lead role since acting comatose wouldn't be much of a stretch for him.

Posted by: Andrea Harris at July 17, 2003 at 03:35 AMWell if I had a choice between "Slick Willie" Clinton being my governor and ulitimately my president, the 19 year coma doesn't sound that bad. In Trudeau's case that's what happens when you mix high grade hash and artist's ink.

Seattle Field Division Celebrates Red Ribbon Week Events held throughout the four state region

Jane Lowery - Alaska National Guard, DEA ASAC Harvey Goehring, Carol Comeau - Superintendent Anchorage School Disrict, Timothy M. Burgess - US Attorney / District of Alaska, Capt Edward Harrington - Alaska State Troopers, Natasha Manion - Boys and Girls Club of Alaska, Ruth Schoenleben - NineStar Enterprises, Lucy Hansen - Polynesian Association of Alaska, Noelle Hardt - Boys and Girls Club of Alaska
NOV 9--During October, the Seattle Field Division kicked off the 20 th Anniversary of Red Ribbon week with several events throughout the four-state region – Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Red Ribbon Week is an important tradition for the drug prevention community, especially for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The event that has become a national symbol of drug prevention began as a grassroots tribute to a fallen DEA hero, Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was murdered by drug traffickers. Today, Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated, helping to preserve Special Agent Camarena's memory and further the cause for which he gave his life. Even more impressive, the Red Ribbon Campaign has become a national symbol of support for the DEA's efforts to reduce demand for drugs through prevention and educational programs.
On October 11, 2005, the Alaska Red Ribbon Coalition, in partnership with Boys & Girls Club of Alaska, announced the receipt of a five-year Federal Grant to deliver anti-drug messages to youth and encourage and expand drug-free initiatives. The Grant provides $100,000 per year to develop a strategic plan, organize community resources, and outreach to a generation of drug-free citizens – in particular youth. This money could not come at a better time for Alaska, which is plagued with the highest rate of illegal drug use in the nation 1.
On October 17th, Special Agent in Charge Rodney Benson had the pleasure of welcoming Myrna Covarrubias, the sister of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, to the Seattle Field Division for a week long community anti-drug events campaign. Ms. Covarrubias began her visit in Oregon, where she visited several schools in the Portland and Coos Bay communities.
ASAC Ken Magee, DEA employee Myrna Camarena-Covarrubias, Judy Cushing (Oregon Partnership) and Shirley Morgan (Mt. Hood Coalition Against Drug Crime) celebrate Red Ribbon Week in Oregon at the Oregon Partnership.
On October 19th, Ms. Covarrubias traveled to Seattle and spoke to the DEA Seattle Field Division about her brother and what his death has meant to her and her family. Later the same day, Ms. Covarrubias attended a school assembly at Gig Harbor Ridge Middle School in Gig Harbor, Washington. The assembly opened with the presentation of our national colors by a Marine Honor Guard, which wanted to honor Special Agent Camarena, a former Marine. Over 400 students, teachers, friends, and city officials attended this event. Ms. Covarrubias spoke to the students about the pain "Kiki's" death caused her and her family and asked the students to raise their right hand and repeat, "I will never do drugs."
The following day, Ms. Covarrubias traveled to Boise, Idaho, where she attended several events in support of Red Ribbon Week. Ms. Covarrubias finished her trip to the northwest with an anti-drug campaign event on the steps of the Idaho State Capitol Building.

Cherington optimistic as spring training nears
Two weeks from today, nearly three dozen Red Sox pitchers and catchers will be in Fort Myers, bracing for their first spring training workout. And shortly thereafter, predictions will begin to roll in.
Not even the Mayans would be so bold as to call the Sox a playoff team.

Dear Miss Fido Manners:
How much do I tip my dog walker and groomer this upcoming holiday season?
Dear Pet Tipster:
It's that time of year, isn't it? As much as we love all those big bows and pretty wrappings (not to mention the egg nog and a few candy canes too), sometimes it really just comes down to showing your appreciation with some cold, hard cash. Ultimately, tipping is a personal decision based on your budget and satisfaction with the quality of care your dog receives from his year-round service providers. And while it may be hard to really put a number on all the good love and attention that people give your pet, here are a couple of guidelines:
For your dog walker, one to two weeks' salary, presented in cash in a holiday card will put a skip in their step. A tasteful or dog-themed picture frame, candle, hat or scarf is a great optional gift from your dog (he likes to shop, right?).
For your groomer, the price of one grooming session will show how much you appreciate their clippers. If you frequent a shop on a regular basis and a few staff members take part in your dog's styling, give a group gift like a basket full of savories and sweets so that they can munch on it throughout the day at work. And always enclose a card with a handwritten message of appreciation – everyone enjoys being barked about once in a while.
Just remember, in these difficult economic times, whatever gift you give this holiday season will be appreciated.
Wishing you good tiding,
Miss Fido Manners

Founder of the colony of Louisiana, b. at Villemarie, Montreal, 16 July, 1661; d. at Havana, 9 July, 1706. He was the third son of Charles Le Moyne, a native of Dieppe Sieur de Longueuil in Canada, and of Catharine Primot. Several of his brothers distinguished themselves greatly as explorers and sailors, viz., the Sieurs de Longueuil, Sainte-Helene, Maricourt, Serigny, Chateauguay, and Bienville. Iberville became a sailor at an early age and served as a volunteer under the Chevalier de Troyes in Hudson Bay. In 1686 he began a brilliant career as soldier and sailor, and took part in many expeditions against the English. In an attack against Fort Rupert, with his brother Maricourt and nine men in two bark canoes, he captured an English ship with fifteen men and the governor of Hudson Bay. In 1694 he took Fort Nelson in Hudson Bay, which he named Bourbon, and in 1696 Fort Pemaquid in Maine. In 1696 also he captured all the English settlements on the coast of Newfoundland, and in 1697 he led an expedition against the English on Hudson Bay. He had a squadron of four ships and a brigantine and commanded the "Pelican" (50 cannon). Separated by ice from his ships Iberville, on 5 Sept., 1697, attacked alone three English ships, sank the "Hampshire" (56 cannon), captured the "Hudson Bay" (32 cannon) and put to flight the "Derring" (36 cannon). He lost his ship and his prize near the mouth of the St. Teresa River, but on the arrival of three ships of his squadron he captured Fort Nelson (Bourbon).
Iberville sailed for France in November, 1697, and was chosen by the Minister of Marine to lead an expedition to rediscover the mouth of the Mississippi River, and to colonize Louisiana, which the English coveted. Iberville's fleet sailed from Brest on 24 October, 1698. It consisted of two small frigates, the "Badine," commanded by Iberville himself, and the "Marin," and two store-ships. At Santo Domingo the warship "Francois" joined the expedition and accompanied it to its destination. On 25 January, 1699, Iberville reached Santa Rosa Island in front of Pensacola, founded by the Spaniards ; he sailed from there to Mobile Bay and explored Massacre Island, later Dauphine. He cast anchor between Cat Island and Ship Island, and on 13 Feb., 1699, he went to the mainland, Biloxi, with his brother Bienville.
On 27 February he set out with two rowboats, two birch canoes and forty-eight men in search of the mouth of the Mississippi, which he discovered on 2 March, 1699. He sailed up as far as the mouth of Red River and returned to his ships through Bayou Ascantia and two lakes, which he named Maurepas and Pontchartrain. On 1 May, 1699, he completed a fort on the north-east side of the Bay of Biloxi, a little to the rear of what is now Ocean Springs. This fort was called Maurepas or Old Biloxi. On 4 May, 1699, Iberville sailed for France with the "Badine" and the "Marin," leaving Sauvole in command of the infant colony. He returned on 8 Dec., 1699, went up the Mississippi as far as Natchez, and ordered a fort to be built fifty-four miles from the mouth of the river, which was abandoned in 1705. On 28 May, 1700, Iberville returned to France, and came back to Louisiana on 18 Dec., 1701. He remained in the colony until 27 April, 1702, and sent Bienville to found Fort Louis of Mobile on Mobile River, 16 Jan., 1702. In 1706 Iberville captured the island of Nevis from the English, and went to Havana to obtain reinforcements from the Spaniards for an attack on the Carolinas. He died at Havana of yellow fever. He was capitaine de vaisseau in the French navy and was said to have been as "military as his sword." He was an able sailor, soldier, explorer, and colonizer.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Kendrys Morales says he's ready to play first base in Seattle
Dec 20, 2012, 10:22 AM EDT
Kendrys Morales played just 28 of his 134 games at first base this year, seeing the bulk of his action at designated hitter after missing most of 2010 and all of 2011 with a broken ankle.
However, after being traded to the Mariners yesterday Morales said he's "confident knowing that I'm 100 percent ready to play first base every day if that's what's needed."
Even if Morales had been fully healthy this year the Angels would have gone with Albert Pujols at first base more often than not, but the situation will be much different with the Mariners considering one of John Jaso or Jesus Montero will likely be at designated hitter most games.
Before breaking his ankle Morales was an everyday first baseman for the Angels and even played some right field in 2007 and 2008, but he hasn't played more than 450 total innings defensively in a season since 2009.
- historiophiliac - Dec 20, 2012 at 10:49 AM
List of players to be 100% in the spring:
1. V-Mart
2. Kendrys Morales
- historiophiliac - Dec 20, 2012 at 1:09 PM
(Should I add Jeter? He said he'd be "ready" on opening day — but not "100%".)
- lazlosother - Dec 20, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Yes, you have to add Jeter. He is always 100%, any time he takes the field. He's a no excuses guy.
- shawnuel - Dec 20, 2012 at 10:55 AM
If Smoak craps the sheets, yet again, then Morales will probably play more 1B than he bargained for.
- weaselpuppy - Dec 20, 2012 at 12:47 PM
Smoak is all done there…wouldn't be shocked to see him flipped for an outfielder
- deathmonkey41 - Dec 20, 2012 at 1:51 PM
Or at least a bag of slightly used baseballs.
- tcostant - Dec 20, 2012 at 1:16 PM
Now LaRoche can re-sign with the Nats for two year. The music is stopping and he is running out of chairs!
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Dec 20, 2012 at 1:31 PM
Rangers, Marlins and Red Sox could all use 1B help. I am sure there are others…
- danucks604 - Dec 20, 2012 at 3:16 PM
Send Justin Smoak maybe we'll get Cliff Lee back.. Oh wait..
- Alex - Dec 20, 2012 at 6:22 PM
How many 1st baseman and DH do the Mariners need?
- cosanostra71 - Dec 20, 2012 at 7:19 PM
Good luck in Seattle Kendrys! Well not too much luck, you're still in the division and all!
- theduuuuuuuuuude - Dec 21, 2012 at 1:11 AM
It's crazy to think how different things might have been had Morales not broken his ankle in an absurdly embarrassing fashion in 2010. He was showing some real promising signs early that season that he might reach the potential that the Angels always saw in him, but his injury paved the way for youngsters like Trumbo and Trout to get a chance. I wish him all the best in Seattle. I think he still has to potential to bring a big bat to Seattle that is badly needed.

Bizarro is a fictional super villain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp as a "mirror image" of Superman and first appeared in Superboy #68 (1958).
Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books (1956 - c. 1970), the character has often been portrayed as an antagonist to Superman, and appeared in both comic books and graphic novels, and other DC Comics-related products such as animated and live-action television series, trading cards, toys, and video games.
Bizarro was Ranked no 25 on IGN's List of 100 Top Comic Book Villains, and the term itself has entered the lexicon beyond pop culture.[1]
Publication history[edit]
Bizarro debuted in Superboy #68 (cover-dated Oct. 1958, but on sale in August[2]), writer Otto Binder casting the character as a Frankenstein's monster pastiche that possessed all the powers of Superboy. Shunned for his grotesque appearance, the teen version of Bizarro only appeared in a single comic book story. An adult version appeared around the same time in the Superman daily newspaper comic strip written by Alvin Schwartz, debuting in Episode 105: "The Battle With Bizarro" (strips 6147-6242: Aug. 25, 1958 to Dec. 13, 1958). According to comics historian Mark Evanier, Schwartz long claimed that he originated the Bizarro concept prior to the character's appearance in Superboy.[3] The newspaper storyline introduced the strange speech patterns that became synonymous with the character, with all of Bizarro's comments meaning the opposite (e.g. "bad" means "good"). The newspaper version wore a "B" on his chest, as opposed to his distinctive "S".[4]
Schwartz stated:
" | I was striving, you might say, for that mirror-image, that opposite. And out of a machine which would reveal the negative Superman, came the mirror image — always remembering that in a mirror everything is reversed... The times were such that one-dimensional characters, your standard superheroes, even in comics, seemed rather simplistic, like paper cut-outs. What was demanded was the full dimensional personality — a figure that carried a shadow, if you like. I was certainly inspired to some degree also by C.G. Jung's archetype of "the shadow" — and Bizarro certainly reflected that, as well.[5] | " |
Binder introduced the adult version of the character into the Superman comic book, this time wearing an "S," in Action Comics #254 (July 1959). Bizarro proved popular, and eventually starred in a Bizarro World feature in Adventure Comics for fifteen issues, running from issue #285-299 (June 1961-Aug. 1962),[6] as well as in a special all-Bizarro 80-Page Giant (Superman #202, Dec. 1967/Jan. 1968). The character made forty appearances[7] in the Superman family of titles — Action Comics, Superman, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Adventure Comics, Secret Society of Super Villains, and DC Comics Presents — from 1959 to 1984, prior to a reboot of the DC Universe as a result of the limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 - 12 (April 1985 - March 1986).
Bizarro was reintroduced into the DC Universe in a one-off appearance with characterization similar to his original Superboy appearance in The Man of Steel #5 (Dec. 1986). He was later revived in the "Bizarro's World" serial that ran through the Superman titles in March and April 1994, and in Action Comics Annual #8 in 1996. An unrelated four-issue limited series titled A. Bizarro (July - Oct.) was published in 1999.
Yet another version was introduced during the "Emperor Joker" storyline in September - October 2000. Remaining in DC Comics continuity, this Bizarro continued to make semi-regular guest appearances that firmly established the character as part of the Superman mythos.
Pre-Crisis Bizarro[edit]
General Dru-Zod had originally created bizarro duplicates of himself to dominate the planet, Krypton. The bizarros had no power because they were not under a yellow sun, but they were soldiers ready to kill and die without hesitation. This was the reason why Zod was banished to the Phantom Zone for 25 Krypton sun-cycles.[8]
Some 12 years later, totally oblivious to these facts, a scientist on the Earth is demonstrating his newly invented "duplicating ray" to Superboy, and an accident causes the ray to duplicate the superhero. The copy, quickly labeled "Bizarro", is a flawed imitation as it possesses chalky white skin and childlike erratic behavior. Shunned by the people of Smallville, Bizarro befriends a blind girl, and loses all hope when he realizes that the girl didn't shun or flee from him, because she was blind. Superboy is eventually forced to "kill" the "less than perfect" clone, using the remains of the duplicating machine, which acts like blue kryptonite (as opposed to green kryptonite, Superboy's weakness) on the copy.[9] The whole business proved unexpectedly easy as Bizarro deliberately destroyed himself by colliding with the duplicating machine's fragment. The ensuing explosion miraculously restores the girl's eyesight.
Years after this adventure, Superman's arch-foe Lex Luthor recreates the "duplicating ray" and uses it on the hero, hoping to control the duplicate. The Bizarro that is created, however, is confused, stating: "Me not human... me not creature... me not even animal! Me unhappy! Me don't belong in world of living people! Me don't know difference between right and wrong — good and evil!"[5] Luthor is arrested by Bizarro for re-creating him, but forgotten as Bizarro attempts to emulate Superman, creating havoc in the city of Metropolis and almost exposing Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent. When Bizarro falls in love with reporter Lois Lane, she uses the duplicating ray on herself to create a "Bizarro Lois", who is instantly attracted to Bizarro. The Bizarros leave Earth together, determined to find a home where they can be themselves.[10]
Superman encounters the couple once again, discovering that Bizarro — now called Bizarro #1 — has used a version of the duplication ray to create an entire world of Bizarros, who now reside on a cube-shaped planet called "Htrae" (Earth spelled backwards).[11] Bizarro #1 and Bizarro-Lois #1 also give birth to a child who while super-powered, appears to be totally human. Considered a freak by Bizarro standards (out of resentment for the way he was treated by earth humans, Bizarro #1 made a law that they must act the opposite of humans, causing no end of lunacy), the child is the catalyst for a brief war between Htrae and Earth.[12] Blue Kryptonite is also invented during this war, as well as the -temporary- existence of Bizarro-Supergirl. Bizarro also has a series of adventures on Htrae, aiding a normal Jimmy Olsen when he is accidentally trapped on the Bizarro world,[13] preventing an invasion of blue kryptonite statues,[14] and stopping the Bizarro version of Titano.[15]
Bizarro's influence is also felt on Earth: Jimmy Olsen is inadvertently turned into a Bizarro for a time,[16] and a new teen version of Bizarro travels to the 30th century, attempting to join the Legion of Super-Heroes. When rejected by the Legion, the Bizarro teen creates his own Bizarro version of the Legion, which Superboy eventually persuades him to disband.[17]
When Bizarro encounters Superman once again, his powers had altered so that they were the opposite of Superman's (such as possessing freeze vision as opposed to heat vision and heat breath as opposed to freeze breath), and he unsuccessfully attempts to kidnap Lois Lane.[18] Bizarro also temporarily joins the Secret Society of Super Villains to battle the Justice League of America and Captain Comet.[19][20]
Bizarro appears in the Alan Moore-scripted "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", in Superman #423 (September 1986). Bizarro goes berserk and destroys the Bizarro World and its inhabitants, then travels to Metropolis and wreaks havoc before abruptly committing suicide. This and many other deaths turn out to be the machinations of Mr. Mxyzlptlk who had begun a rampage of crime. Superman is unable to undo the deaths, but kills Mr. Mxyzlptlk and then uses gold kryptonite on himself.
Bizarro's final pre-Crisis appearance was in DC Comics Presents #97 (September 1986), which was also the final issue of that series. After being empowered by a hideously disfigured Phantom Zone sorcerer, Mr. Mxyzptlk destroys Zrfff and then causes the Bizarro world to implode, killing all its inhabitants. Bizarro's severed head crashes onto Clark Kent's desk and addresses Clark Kent before his simulated life ends. Bizarro does not appear in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently because of this story's events.
This story directly contradicts a World's Finest story where it is revealed that sometime in the future, Htrae is transformed into a more normal world (egg-shaped rather than cubical) by the radiation from an exploding celestial body. The Bizarroes are changed into normal non-powered people as well, but still retaining vestiges of their Bizarro laws (curtains hung outside the windows of a house, etc.)[21]
After the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lex Luthor orders his scientific team to create a clone of Superman. However, wrongfully starting from the assumption that Superman is a human with metahuman abilities (his alien origin had not yet been discovered by Luthor, let alone publicly revealed), the process results in a flawed copy, which Luthor dismissively refers to as "...this bizarre -- Oh, forget it", before ordering for the subject to be disposed of. The monstrous clone survives and, although mute and possessed of only limited intelligence and vague memories of Clark Kent's life, attempts to mimic Superman; including carrying a broken down ambulance to the hospital. He kidnaps Lois Lane and is finally destroyed when colliding with Superman in mid-air.[22] Each time he exerted himself, the clone crumbled slightly. When Lois Lane's sister was exposed to Bizarro's dust, she recovers her sense of vision. Lois Lane's sister was previously blinded by a terrorist acid attack. The cure was completed when she was hit by a shower of the dust when Superman smashed the clone. While Superman had not expected this effect, he speculated that Bizarro heard the sister explain her partial recovery. Thereafter Bizarro may have deliberately allowed himself be killed in order to cure her.
A 2nd Bizarro, able to speak and think better due to genetic engineering by Luthor prior to using the clone process, appeared in a 5-issue substory in the clone plague story-arc titled "Bizarro's World" (beginning in Superman #87). Before he died, this Bizarro seriously injured Happersen, kidnapped Lois, created a ramshackle dummy version of Metropolis in a warehouse (to parody Superman's frequently rescuing Lois, he deliberately exposed her to and "rescued" her from one lethal danger after another), abducted Lana Lang, proposed to Lois (presenting her with a ring, actually a stolen table display) and finally died in Luthor's labs.[23] During this period, Superman also had to cope with an unending increase in his powers due to exposure to "purple kryptonite" in the climax of the Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen story-arcs.[24]
There was one other Bizarro created by Lex Luthor's clone process, by Lex Luthor's estranged wife and Dabney Donovan shortly after Superman regained his normal powers when he expended his electromagnetic ones. This Bizarro abducted Lex Luthor's baby daughter and intended to send her by rocket to another planet, emulating Kal-El's escape from Krypton. His pile of explosives and bombs, meant to launch the rocket, would have killed her instead, and Superman had to shield her when Bizarro threw the launch switch. Bizarro 2, already self-destructing from a genetic booby trap encoded into him by his creator, perished in the explosion.[25]
Another version of Bizarro possesses all the abilities of Superman but with a childlike mentality and method of speech. He is created by Batman's arch-enemy the Joker when the villain steals the powers of the fifth-dimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk. Creating a twisted version of Earth called "Jokerworld" — a perfect cube with Joker's image on each facet — the villain designates Bizarro to be the planet's greatest hero and leader of a reimagined "JLA" (the "Joker's League of Anarchy"). When Mxyzptlk regains his powers, the imp allows Bizarro and several other beings to remain on the restored Earth.[26][27][28][29][30]
Bizarro suffers a setback when captured by the Pokolistanian dictator General Zod. Zod beats and tortures Bizarro, apparently simply because the creature resembles Superman. The hero rescues Bizarro, and to help him adjust to the normal Earth rebuilds Bizarro's "Graveyard of Solitude" (the opposite of Superman's Fortress of Solitude).[31] During the Infinite Crisis, Bizarro is tricked into joining the reformed Secret Society of Super Villains by Flash's foe Zoom, and during a battle with superteam the Freedom Fighters accidentally kills the Human Bomb, constantly hitting the hero to observe the flashes of light that are produced from the kinetic energy of the blows.[32]
Bizarro becomes involved when Kryptonian criminals led by General Zod escape to Earth,[33] but wishing to create a home for himself, Bizarro travels into deep space to a solar system occupied by a blue sun. After creating a cube shaped planet, filled with abstract versions of various buildings and locations on Earth, Bizarro is still lonely. The blue sun, however, gives Bizarro a new ability called "Bizarro Vision", which allows him to create new Bizarros. When this fails, Bizarro kidnaps Jonathan Kent, Superman's adopted father on Earth. Superman rescues his father and helps Bizarro become his world's greatest hero.[34]
Bizarro eventually appears on the planet Throneworld, befriending and aiding Earth hero Adam Strange and allies Prince Gavyn, Captain Comet, and the Weird. Together they participate in the war between alien worlds Rann and Thanagar,[35] and against villains Lady Styx and Synnar.[36] Bizarro eventually visits the grave of a deceased Jonathan Kent, and is then sent (by rogue Kryptonians) with other Superman foes to the inter-dimensional prison, the Phantom Zone.[37]
Bizarro has a series of encounters with former Secret Society ally Solomon Grundy,[38] and during the events of Blackest Night, Bizarro confronts the Black Lantern version of Grundy. Bizarro eventually destroys Grundy by driving him into the heart of the Sun.[39]
Later, while investigating an object that crashes into a Metropolis park and leaves a massive crystallized crater in its center, Dr. Light and Gangbuster discover a Bizarro-like creature that resembles Supergirl.[40] The Bizarro Supergirl takes the heroes hostage, but is ultimately defeated in battle by the real Supergirl.[41] It is revealed that the Bizarro Supergirl is a refugee from the cube-shaped Bizarro World, and was sent to Earth by her cousin after their planet was attacked by a being known as the Godship. Dr. Light attempts to take the Bizarro Supergirl to S.T.A.R. Labs, only to be violently knocked unconscious by Supergirl, who then absconds with her doppelganger and her ship, hoping to stop the Godship and save Bizarro World.[42] After taking Bizarro Supergirl back to Bizarro World, Bizarro Superman is reunited with Bizarro Supergirl.[43]
The New 52[edit]
In The New 52 (a reboot of the DC Comics uiverse), Bizarro first appears in the Forever Evil event. Five years ago, Lex Luthor, intending to create his personal army of Supermen, attempted to splice Superman's DNA with human DNA and injected it into a teenage test subject. Instead, he transforms into a hulking white-skinned monster with cryonic vision, incendiary breath, and immunity to Kryptonite — deducing his weakness, Luthor hits him with concentrated solar radiation that oversaturates his cells and kills him. Luthor then takes samples of the creature to continue his experiment, deciding to clone a purely Kryptonian body. Five years later, a capsule labeled B-0 is shown.[44]
After the Crime Syndicate takes over the world, Luthor releases Subject B-0, though his transformation is only halfway through. When he kills a security guard named Otis on Luthor's orders, Luthor is pleased and decides to use the imperfect clone in his plan to take the Syndicate down.[45] Later, when Luthor and his team of villains pass through a tunnel, B-0 is revealed to be afraid of darkness. Luthor tries to comfort him with a story about his own fears, but ultimately wonders whether the clone was a waste of time; B-0 then speaks his first words, "Bizarro... try", much to Luthor's surprise.[46] Though initially doubtful, Luthor grows truly fond of "Bizarro", who proves to be a powerful asset throughout the event.
During the final confrontation against the Earth-3 invaders, Bizarro battles Mazahs, the alternate version of Luthor himself; although he initially has the upper hand, Bizarro is fatally wounded and left to die. Luthor desperately tries to fix him, to no avail, and they share a sorrowful goodbye. Enraged over the death of Bizarro Lex Luthor murders his Earth-3 counterpart avenging Bizzaro. After the battle is over, Luthor restarts the cloning process; when one of his scientists states it should take about ten years to fully develop a perfect Kryptonian clone, Luthor corrects him by saying it will take only five years, revealing he truly intends to create a perfect copy of Bizarro.[47]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Bizarro is depicted as having all the abilities of Superman, although in some incarnations several of these traits have been reversed, such as
- "freeze vision" instead of heat vision
- "flame breath" instead of freeze breath
- "vacuum breath" instead of super breath
- "Bizarro telescopic vision" which allows Bizarro to see a "short distance behind his head" rather than a "long distance in front of his head"
- "Bizarro microscopic vision" which makes objects "actually smaller to everyone" rather than merely "appear to be bigger to only the user"
- "Bizarro X-ray vision" which allows Bizarro to "only see through lead" rather than the ability to "see through anything except lead"
- "Telescopic X-ray vision" which caused Bizarro to shoot x-rays from his eyes from "fifty miles around".[48]
This also applies to weaknesses, as Bizarro is vulnerable to blue kryptonite, as opposed to green kryptonite, which is lethal to Superman. Bizarro is actually strengthened by green kryptonite as opposed to blue kryptonite.
Other versions[edit]
All-Star Superman[edit]
The limited series All-Star Superman (Jan. 2006 - Oct. 2008) features Bizarro clones from an alternative universe called the "Underverse". They can "infect" a normal human and change them into a Bizarro clone by touch.[49] One of these creatures is called "Zibarro" and is unique in that he has the mental capacity of a normal human.[50]
Superboy Comics[edit]
Bizarro appears in an issue of the tie-in comic for the late-1980s Superboy TV show, in which he is duped into acting as a student's art project.[51] He also was featured in an issue of the Superman Adventures comic series that tied into Superman: The Animated Series in which he is brought to Earth by Lobo.[52]
Adventure Comics[edit]
A Bizarro fantasy akin to the pre-Crisis version appears in the 1998 Adventure Comics 80-Page Giant by writer Tom Peyer and artist Kevin O'Neill. There, Bizarro demands that a technician at a SETI-like installation broadcast his diary. Having no choice, the technician looks over the diary, which tells the story of the classic cube-shaped backwards Bizarro World. Superman accidentally finds himself there and, to allay people's fears of him, goes on a "constructive rampage." The original Bizarro, aka Bizarro #1, goes to Earth and attempts to stop Superman with the help of his friends. However, when the other Bizarros try to kill Superman, #1 stops them, saying that killing is the earthly thing that they must, above all, do the opposite of. Realizing that, however strange Bizarro World might be, its inhabitants are safer and happier than those of Earth thanks to Bizarro #1's leadership, Superman apologizes. To show his sincerity he hides a copy of the Bizarro Code where nobody will ever see it. The people hold a parade in #1's honor and with his loving wife Bizarro Lois #1 and their son, Bizarro Junior #1 at his side, Bizarro cries saying "Me am ... happiest creature in universe." When the technician finishes reading the story, he sees Bizarro is gone and, horrified, asks - what if the journal itself is no exception to the Bizarro Code? Elsewhere, the truth is revealed; Bizarro, who has no home and has no family and is held in contempt by Superman, weeps because he is the most miserable thing in the universe.
In the 2004 graphic novel mini-series Trinity by Matt Wagner, Bizarro is a genetic clone of Superman that is the result of Luthorcorp's "Project Replica". The creature was then sealed away in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, encased within ice, until it was released by Ra's Al Ghul, who used him as a pawn in his plan to use nuclear warheads to decimate Gotham as well as destroy a cluster of communication satellites, causing a major communications blackout, the end goal of his mission being to incite chaos and purge the Earth of the "cancer" that is civilization. Bizarro loses his hand and is thrown into a volcano and is presumably deceased, however, his hand is turned into red kryptonite at the bottom of the ocean.[53]
Adventures of Superman[edit]
A story in the out-of-continuity digital-first anthology comic book Adventures of Superman from 2013 by Christos Gage and Eduardo Francisco reveals that Bizarro's penchant for opposites comes as a result of his imperfectly formed brain, a discovery which allows Superman and Professor Hamilton to make him talk and think like a regular person and pursue his desire to be heroic.[54]
Bizarro Comics[edit]
The 2002 graphic novel Bizarro Comics is an anthology of short comics by artists of the independent scene handling various DC Comics characters in humorous tales set outside of any continuity. All the stories are bookended by Bizarro Wars, a comic written by Chris Duffy with art by Stephen DeStefano in which Mxyzptlk seeks the aid of Superman to save the fifth dimension from a cosmic conqueror named "A", but ends up with Bizarro (here introduced as a new character that neither Superman nor Mxyzptlk formerly knew of) instead. The other comics in the volume (including one short Bizarro World story written by Bizarro creator Alvin Schwartz) are presented as creations of the deranged mind of Bizarro himself.[55] The 2005 follow-up anthology Bizarro World features the character less centrally, but includes an introductory story in which the character runs an amusement park.[56]
Earth 2[edit]
On Earth 2 as part of The New 52 (a reboot of the DC Comics universe), Darkseid and Steppenwolf created a clone of Superman which they dub Brutaal.[57] After being snapped out of Darkseid's control by his wife Lois Lane (who in this reality inhabits the wind-manipulating robot body known as Red Tornado), Superman and Red Tornado leave for the Kent Family's farm.[58] After a protracted battle with Earth 2's superheroes, in particular Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and a younger Kryptonian named Val-Zod, he is revealed to be scaling and decomposing. Realizing he is a Bizarro-type clone and that his power is waning, the Superman clone is destroyed by Lois using a cyclone blast from her hand.[59]
Miscellaneous versions[edit]
Several alternative universe versions of the character exist: the Silver Age Bizarro appears in Justice as a member of the Legion of Doom;[60] a Legends of the Dead Earth story set in the far future features a former media-star Bizarro who owns an amusement park and who fights against his own obsolescence;[61] the one-shot The Superman Monster (1999), essentially a Frankenstein pastiche, features a monstrous copy of Bizarro created by a Viktor Luthor;[62] Superman: Red Son (2004) features a "Superman 2" created by genius Lex Luthor for the United States to stop the Soviet-based Superman;[48] and Lex Luthor creates Bizarro-like duplicates called "Liberators" in the limited series JLA: The Nail (1998).[63]
